  • Publication number: 20200201295
    Abstract: A method for identifying workpieces that are distributed in a sorted manner to multiple workpiece collection units and brought to the workpiece collection units using an automation device. Included is identifying elements for emitting and receiving electromagnetic signals to and from transceiver units situated on the workpiece collection units to determine the position of the identifying elements from transit times of the electromagnetic signals between the transceiver units and the identifying elements. The identifying elements each bear information regarding the workpieces on the workpiece collection units. The identifying elements, which are provided by a delivery device and each bear information regarding the workpieces on the workpiece collection units, are brought from the location of a delivery device to a transfer zone in the working area of the automation device. The automation device brings each provided identifying element from the transfer zone to the associated workpiece collection unit.

  • Patent number: 10574392
    Abstract: A method for the transmission of data via an Inter Communication Link (ICL) to a receiver unit is provided. The method identifies data to be transmitted in a memory cell of a data storage. The method continues by extracting the address of the memory cell and extracting the data word from the identified data. The method continues by calculating a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) checksum from the extracted address of the memory cell and the extracted data word. The method continues by generating a data packet to be sent by appending a start frame delimiter and a stop frame delimiter to the extracted address of the memory cell, the extracted data word and the calculated CRC checksum. The method continues by sending the data packet.

  • Publication number: 20190283482
    Abstract: A security object has a document body. A lens array is formed on a top side and first information is stored in the document body. The optical detectability of the first information through the lens array is dependent on a detection direction. The document body has a top view section, in which the document body has a material layer that is translucent or opaque, and adjacent thereto a window section, in which the document body is formed of a material transparent in volume between a top side and a bottom side. The lens array extends over part of the window section and over part of the top view section and spans a section boundary between the sections. The first information also is formed partially in the top view section and partially in the window section and, in the window section, laser-marked, static second information is stored in the document body.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an interior tracking system for manufacturing control. The interior tracking system has multiple, fixedly installed transceivers for determining the position of multiple mobile units, the position being determined in particular by evaluating the propagation time of electromagnetic (radio) signals. The interior tracking system is used to assign one of the mobile units to one or more workpieces in an industrial manufacturing plant that processes steel and/or sheet metal, to determine the position of the assigned workpieces by localizing the assigned mobile unit using the interior tracking system and to integrate the interior tracking system into a manufacturing control system of the industrial manufacturing plant.

  • Patent number: 10161080
    Abstract: A ventilation insert for textiles, with at least one layer, covered at least partially by an absorption material and having ventilation openings, the openings being at least partially closeable via a liquid by swelling of the absorption material, obtainable by: a) treating a layer having ventilation openings with a mixture, containing a wetting agent, initiator, polymerizable monomer or oligomers, and a cross-linking agent, as a preliminary stage for the absorption material; and b) polymerizing the monomer or oligomer to form the absorption material while forming a bonded connection between the absorption material and the layer. The ventilation insert has a relatively low thickness, a low weight per unit area, and high flexibility permanently and independently of moisture after economical production, via one layer, self-sealingly closing ventilation openings, and containing the absorption material.
